Pros

Cons

The Bianchi Vigorelli (2011) is the flagship offering in Bianchi's Gran Fondo line of road bikes, a step up from the next-in-line Imola (2011) model in a couple of ways. First off, this model has Shimano's 105 line brakes, derailleurs and crankset, a line that is new for 2011. The Shimano 105 equipment is designed to provide enhanced performance and durability from past generations, and is also more lightweight than the Imola (2011) model's Shimano Tiagra components. This model also has an FSA alloy stem and handlebar, which is higher quality than the Imola (2011) model's in-house stem and handlebar. Features shared between the two models include a chromoly frame. This frame has Reynolds 631 tubing, which helps to make it durable.
